Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh thinks deeply about issues of art, class, relational actions and communities. He acts as a curator of people and creativity. And his writings expose a committed artist who articulates a complex definition of art and his hopes for it in the world. We hope you enjoy this very good conversation. - Artblog Editor

Kwasi’s project involves a team of five people, himself and Aaron Sawyer, Jaquan Fields, Tamia Garcia and Tiyanna Scott. Tiyanna and Tamiya came with Kwasi and they all generously talked about their team, and the ideas of art as a safe space to interact and make things, and about welcoming in community artists and makers to share their experiences and their talents openly in the Open Mic nights and in other public gatherings. It’s a great talk about art whose point is not necessarily a material object but something more ephemeral — empathy, community, and creativity.

The podcast took place on Nov. 30 and is 32 minutes of really interesting conversation by the team.
